Police Confirm Body Found In Bag Is That Of Suri Narudin

SEREMBAN, Dec 24 (Bernama) -- The body of a woman found inside a bag buried behind a house in Rembau last Thursday has been confirmed as that of Suri Narudin, who was reported missing since Dec 8.

Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said the identification was confirmed through fingerprint examination, which matched records in the National Registration Department system.

“Further confirmation was obtained through a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis report from the Chemistry Department of Malaysia, which showed a close familial match from a full sibling source.

“This indicated a very high probability of a relationship, further strengthening the confirmation of the body’s identity as Suri, aged 53,” he said in a statement today.

Alzafny advised the public not to speculate on the case as it could affect the ongoing investigation, and urged anyone with information to contact the Rembau district police headquarters or the nearest police station.

He said the police assured that investigations would be conducted transparently, professionally and in accordance with the law.

Last Thursday, Alzafny said the body found in a bag buried behind an unoccupied house in Kampung Batu 4, Pedas, was believed to be that of a woman reported missing in Ampang, Selangor.

Following the discovery, police arrested two men, aged 51 and 41, to assist in the investigation under Section 302 of the Penal Code.

Earlier media reports said police had sought public assistance to locate Suri after her aunt lodged a missing person report at the Ampang police station on Dec 15.
